Free Dragon Quest IX Maps Now Available

The next couple of weeks are the perfect time to get into Dragon Quest IX if you haven’t already. Starting today (July 31) GameStop is giving away free downloads of a new DQIX map, “Zoma,” for players, with some locations offering unique meet-up gatherings for Dragon Quest nerds.

Then on August 7 (that’s next Saturday, you calendarless fools), “select” Best Buy outlets will toss around the “Estark” map and then from August 7 to September 19, “select” malls will distribute the “Malroth” map and hold sampling events for the game. I’m assuming there won’t be food samples, just display DS units with the chance to play Dragon Quest IX for a few minutes. Just a guess.

These maps can be obtained through the Tag Mode in the game, which you can turn on at the Quester’s Rest Inn in Stornway. To find out more about those mysterious “select” locations and their offerings, hit up the link to find out more. 

Dragon Quest IX is a turn-based RPG for the Nintendo DS, released with record-breaking sales last month in the United States and a year beforehand in Japan.

Metroid: Other M to Include 2-Hour Movie

Some movies should become video games and some video games should become movies and some other video games practically ARE movies (I’m looking at you, Metal Gear Solid). Imagine my surprise and delight colliding with the fact I do not own a Wii and barrel-rolling down the interstate when I found out the new Metroid: The Other M will be accompanied by a 2-hour CG film. Say what?!

A “theater mode” will pull all the game’s cut scenes into one piece, allowing gamers to relive the awesomeness of the beautiful cinematics without replaying the game or letting movie clips suffice. According to an interview with Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, the theater mode version of the cinematics results in a 2-hour long movie divided into chapters—similar to a normal movie you would play on a DVD. The parts in between animated cutscenes will be pre-recorded gameplay, which sadly, won’t be your own. It’s a win-win situation: players who beat the game can relive it in all their laziness and players stuck on a part can watch the film to pick up hints. 

Metroid: The Other M comes out on the Nintendo Wii on August 31, 2010.
